Kaitlyn joined the embrace dental care team in January 2023.
When asked what she loves about her job Kaitlyn says; “The thought of the dental chair can sometimes be vulnerable, emotional and let’s be honest, very few peoples favourite place. I pride myself on creating a safe place where patients feel comfortable, educated and empowered when it comes to their oral health. I find immense joy in getting to know my patients on a more personal level. I believe that time is precious and the hours spent in the dental chair should have at least a small level of joy. So next time you’re in, let’s chat! Sometimes it’s a good distraction as to why you’re at the dentist.”
